為了一個沒有衝突、戰爭、飢餓的完美世界，將付出什麼代價？
是要遺忘過去、抹去人類的罪惡，還是成為說書人，透過故事讓歷史與文化傳承下去？
雜揉交織著愛、幽默、痛苦、魔法、迷失靈魂的故事，將引導倖存者走出黑暗……
西元二○六一年，哈雷彗星被太陽閃焰推離軌道，向著地球前進。
十二歲女孩佩特拉．潘尼亞與父母和七歲的弟弟哈比耶生活在美國新墨西哥州。她的祖母麗塔是一位說書人，時常說故事給佩特拉聽。佩特拉希望長大後也能成為一位說書人。但她的幸福生活即將被打破，因為地球要毀滅了。佩特拉的母親是植物學家，父親是地質學家，兩人卓越的能力使他們一家獲得搭上太空船，前往新星球薩根的機會。
在太空船上，乘客會透過「認知程式」陷入沉睡。三百八十年後，佩特拉在新星球醒來，發現只有自己記得地球。在這段星際旅程中，「集體」接管一切，清除了所有乘客的記憶，或乾脆……「清除」他們。
誰是說謊的狐狸？布蘭卡弗洛公主為誰冒險？開花仙人掌後的洞穴藏著什麼？拯救羽蛇神的兔子將帶她去到何方？在黑暗無邊的太空中，佩特拉獨自一人懷抱著祖母留給她的故事。這些故事給了她力量，她能找到消失的家人，並且將故事與文化的火種傳承下去嗎？
【本書資料】
無注音
適讀年齡：11歲以上
本書特色
1.「故事」擁有撼動一切、重建世界的力量
在佩特拉困惑和迷茫的時候，祖母說給她的故事成了養分。她從中獲得智慧看透謊言和虛偽，獲得勇氣在黑暗中獨自負起拯救其他人與傳承文化的重擔。現實中，故事也深深影響著你我的生活與生命歷程，小至人際互動，大至人生方向，故事將帶領孩子們成長。這本書獻給喜歡說故事、聽故事、看故事的你。
2.將墨西哥民間傳說與科幻元素融合
作者以古今交錯的雙軌時間軸敘事，佩特拉對照著她現在在宇宙飛船上的時刻，回憶起祖先代代相傳的墨西哥民間故事。本書除了以科幻元素挑戰讀者既有的認知，激發對未來的想像，也以傳說故事告訴讀者歷史記憶的重要性：過去不是未來的敵人，而是時間的禮物。
3.動人又感傷的「反烏托邦」小說
看似平等，沒有衝突、戰爭、飢餓的世界是否真是完美的？壓抑情感、抹除記憶，追求集體利益最大化，這些是美好的未來嗎？在科技世代裡，本書促使著我們思考人類的發展，作者透過佩特拉，在展示了文化記憶、家庭紐帶和故事對人類進步至關重要之餘，也強調我們應擁抱多樣性，並尊重彼此間的差異。

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons.
A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good.
B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy.
Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”??
Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer.
Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s
Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward.
Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat.
It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot.
Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable.
The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.
